Amazing Experience Around the Island

5.00Amazing tour around the island with beautiful photo stops and breathtaking views of Mount Otemanu. We also visited local shops selling handmade Polynesian crafts and souvenirs. Another highlight was seeing the American World War II monuments along the way. Our guide was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. A perfect way to experience the island’s natural beauty, culture, and history. Highly recommended!
Unfortunately, this was our least favorite tour on the island

3.00Kind of a fun trip, but this isn't really off roading, or doing anything special at all. They just use a 4x4 safari style vehicle & take you up 3 little hills for the view & then show you around town a little & that's literally it. We saw 2 old cannons & the tour guide wasn't very talkative or personal.

5.00Had a great, albeit short time with Ta’rei as our driver and guide. There are two main viewpoints that they take you up to for great views around Bora Bora as well as some history (WW II Canons). There is a stop at a local tie dye shop plus a few brief stops for pictures and experience. Overall you get a different perspective of the island compared to the resorts.

5.00This tour was jam packed with amazing views and a cute demonstration. There was about a 10 minute hike that was easy to complete.
Interesting discovery of the island by 4x4.

5.00Coming solo to Bora Bora, I wanted to explore the island and was charmed by the 4x4 tour around the island, sometimes off the beaten path, for beautiful viewpoints and explanations of the local flora and history. Kudos to Nono, our guide, who managed to engage us and look after each of us as if we were on an individual tour. And as a cherry on top, a little tune on the ukulele. Thank you, Nono, I recommend.
Disappointing excursion

1.00The guide was very good, but nothing in the description matched. Upon reaching the summit of the mountain, you are told that you must walk 30-40 minutes downhill and then uphill on rocks and mud to see the canyons. Next, we visited the Polynesian village. You are stopped at the side of the road in a hut for a demonstration of dyeing a pareo and shopping. Then we visited a spot, and on the way back, we visited the beach of our hotel 😂 Barely 3 hours of excursion
Tour of Island with some climbing

3.00Be sure you wear tennis shoes as you will climb a trail to a mountain site to see the cannons and view.. Also you will be blown by the wind in the back of the 4x4. There was little knowledge imparted by a tour guide explaining places and we were delayed starting due to late customers. Overall it was ok.

5.00Great views of the island. A little walking across uneven ground but worth it. Interesting stories of local culture and customs.
